The European Astro Pi Challenge 2018/2019: run your experiment in space!

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst

The European Astro Pi Challenge is an ESA Education project run in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It offers young people the amazing opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space, by writing computer programs that run on Raspberry Pi computers on board the International Space Station. The two Astro Pis are equipped with a set of environmental sensors and a camera, one with a visible camera and one with an infrared camera.

The 2018/2019 Challenge will kick off in September 2018 and run throughout the school year in a scheme of two different levels: Mission Zero and Mission Space Lab.
